First, welcome and congrats
1) you get the best gas mileage by driving like a granny with your car, no heavy starts/stops, lots of coasting, no A/C
But who wants to drive like that?!? You do want premium fuel...it'll keep your engine from pinging
2) Sucks that you already have scratches. Go get the touchup paint or have the dealer fix it...maybe go get an Xpel kit too.
3) As for washing/waxing...go grab Zaino...take a look at my website in my signature, page 2, you'll see pics of my car with Zaino...nothing beats it.
4) Personally I think SS works like a possessed sporttronic pushbutton transmission...use it similar to a stick, but it autoshifts 1-2 for you, and restricts you from downshifting when you'd hit the rev limiter...
Lastly...I suggest you do a search for most of this stuff...a lot of new car questions have already been covered MANY times
Cheers,
